Unzip the Dell Fan Utility.7z, place a shortcut of the exe on the desktop.The links for software downloads appear at the bottom of valuxin's post. Reading the Dell forums about fan problems, I was pointed to this web page by valuxin. Disabling the Embedded Controller may have unintended consequences and may cause your computer to be in an unstable state.

A temporary solution was running the laptop in the refrigerator but that wasn't 100% effective and not something my wife liked having to deal with. Putting a laptop cooler under the fans didn't help. Using the fan solution documented below didn't help. Before I bricked the machine I installed a CPU/GPU temperature monitor (GPU-Z ( ) and I could see the temperature reaching >95☌ and then shutting down.Įven after replacing the damaged SSD, other components on the mother board became heat sensitive and would shut down with the slightest heat increase. At least that's what I figured out after the damage had been done. One expensive and unfortunate lesson I learned in using my Dell Laptop (XPS 15, 32GB, SSD 1TB Nvidia GPU GTX 1050) for machine learning training is that the computer could overheat.
